If DZone were down where would you spend your day?
Dzone just moved to new servers and changed their DNS yesterday. My local DNS has not updated yet so for me, Dzone is down still. I usually check the font page and upcoming links many times a day. While its been down I have had to look elsewhere. Mostly I have just been at javablogs.com.
Where would you go to read about code if DZone were down?

Hi Mike. I just saw your note on JavaBlogs : ) We recently moved to a better and faster datacenter and one of the side effects was that some DNS servers held onto our old addresses. We hope that this won’t continue to be an issue for very long : )

Hi Matt. Thanks for the update. Rick hit me up too. I am just curious as to where people get their software news other than dzone so that I and others can get all the good news out there. I’m not looking to replace dzone.

DZone and JavaBlogs are great but I use Google Reader to snare those blogs that are especially compelling. Also, StackOverflow is an interesting new site.
Naturally, I tell my teammates to simply make CodeToJoy their home page. At CtJ, we aren’t above shameless plugs.

Give popurls, DeveloperURLs, or Hacker News a shot. I currently have the same issue. Dzone shows down at work still but is working from home.
